Confirmed from Rahn Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (295 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“The trail is well paved, and people keep the pavilions and softball standings mostly clean.”

Rahn Park is great for little kiddos, as the playground is suited for that age. What is really nice is the school right next door also has a playground for a little older kids. There are lots of trails, a great new warming house for hockey, public bathrooms, and lighted pickleball courts...Yes pickleball courts.

★★★★★ — Kevin , Apr 2023

This is a pretty big park.. A great hill for sledding in the winter.. A wooded area for walking.. A kids area and both tennis abs pickleball courts.. There are 6 pickleball courts.. I think.. Also a covered seating area.. Some "Port-a-Potties".. Decent parking Good Luck

★★★★★ — Hewitt , Jul 2023

Beautiful trail through the woods! Great sledding hill too. The open field by the school is perfect for flying a kite.

★★★★★ — Mary , May 2021

We love walking the trails. Much which is paved but also through rougher terrain. The new pickle courts that are lighted are a very nice addition. In the winter hockey is played and in the warmer months there are baseball, softball and soccer fields that always seemed to have something going, though not much action…

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
